The Great Migration Safaris – Southern and Central Serengeti

Every year, the vast herds of wildebeest embark on a long-distance migration that coincide with the annual rain fall patterns and grass growth. Following the short rainy season in November, the great herds of wildebeest arrive to the short-grass plains of the Serengeti around November. The short-grass plains are located in the area east and south of the Seronera, around Ndutu and the northern Ngorongoro Conservation area. Herds of wildebeest and zebra can be seen across these plains as they feed on the nutrient rich grasses.The majority of the wildebeest calve around February. They normally stay in the area till April and then start moving west towards tothe Western Corridor of the Serengeti National Park.

Our 6-days Migration safari has been designed specifically to focus on and to increase your chance to see the great Serengeti wildebeest migration. We have designed the itinerary to include the Lake Ndutu area, southern Serengeti and central Serengeti National Park where the majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found from December through to April. The itinerary also includes a visit to the world famous Ngorongoro Crater.
